From Il Brewers Standpoint.

Louis Schade, editor of the Wash
ington Sentinel National Brewers
organ), and one of the leaders in the
personal liberty movement III the
country, takes this view of the result
of the elections:
There was no National isslte invOlv-
ed in the contest. and the result can
not properly be interpreted as signi
flying anything for the National CON
test of next year. This is especially
true as to New York State, where
there is disposition to assert that the
election turned upon National issues.
The Democrats carried New York
chiefly because of the efforts of person
al Liberty League in favor of Cook,
and the Personal Liberty League is
composed in great part of German
Americans, who generally vote the
Republican ticket. The Democratic
candidate for Secretary of State in
New York, Cook, was a German
American of good character, against
whom nothing could be said. He had
experience in office and was opposed
by weak candidate, who WaSrunning
on Il memory. Mr.. Cook had the ire
mendouS advantage OF having the en-
thusastic support of the brewers of
the State, to which he himself belong
ed. And it is this vote which accounts
for the Democratic success in New
York and not National issue.
1t is understood that Mr.. ID. u. POr-
ter's strong opposition to District At
torney Bob Miller was based on the
idea of rotation. Wesuppose Mr.. Por-
ter is in favor of rotation in his own
Office after his death.-New MisSis-

of Offices about Jackson for a long

but there are great many more that

Regarding Chinch Bugs.

Scientists have traced out with tbs
utmost care the life history and habits
of the chinch bug, but as yet can not
offer any practical way of destroying
them OF preventing their dissemination
or multiplication, Wheat farming is
particularly favorable to theil. growth,
especially where winter wheat is
grown. It has been recommended to
not raise wheat fox a while SO the bugs
would disappear, but as some persist in
raising wheat, atleast occasionally, and
as it is pretty we'll understood that
these bugs will live even if no wheat is
raised, under favorable conditions ct
weather, etc., it can easily be seen how
hard it is TO get rid of them. How"
ever, in regions lately OF at present in.
tested with them, farmers should make
this fact strong point against sowing
wheat The wheat crop is not alone
jeopardized; corn and other crops will
also suffer. Diversified farming, with
wheat mainly left out, is the best
practice we now know of.--PraSrie

CATTLE AND DOGS.
How Many Good Farm Animals are Hop


! leSSAy W r0Ckeu.
The majority of farmers think it
very necessary to keep dog to help
them drive the stock. A well-trained
log may be Of some help, but the
largest per cent. Of the dogs kept for
this purpose do considerable moro
harm than good. Not being under
your control to any considerable ex-
tent, and, well started after stock, it
is more trouble to stop them and get
them to let the stock alone than it
would have been to have driven the
stock yourself, and this. too, without
taking into consideration the damage
done to the stock.
On many farms the cows are allowed
the run Of the ,asture, and at night it
very often devolves upon the boy of
the farm to drive them to be nlilked.
Mounted upon horse. and accom-.
panied by the ecessary log, the cows
are hurried home on the run as rapidly
as possible, the boy alternately urging
the dog. his horse and the cattle by
whooping and yelling, often aided in
his work with good stick which he
has learned to use '.not wisely but too
we'll" Leaving out the other many
risks of injuring the stock from vari~
Gus causes, this one injury to tho
COWS and their milk ought to-
be sufficient to induce change.
1t is surely bad enough to
worry the other stock with, in many
cases, a useless dog, but to drive the
cows, with their well-tilled udders of
milk, home OH run with Il barking,
biting dog at their heels to add 10 their
excitement and worry, is certainly
cruel rs we'll as injurious. and it is not
only the animal but also the product
that is affected. Not only the quality
but the quantity is affected, SO much SO
that often it is not fit to use or TO be
manufactured into butter Or cheese.
Such milk is not good for the calves or
to be used in the family, and when we
consider that this is wholly uncailed for
and could easily be avoided ii would
certainly seem advisable to discon-
tinue it.
Then in addition we must consider
the loss of flesh that must be occasioncd
from unnecessary running and beating
up. Since COWS of an easy excitable
nature will gradually get into such
condition that the sight of a dog will
needlessly excite them, the boy and the
horse are bad enough without the dog.
In fact, stock ought not to be driven
faster than walk at any time. and tha
milch COWS more especially so than any
thing else. Treat them kind and when
driving be careful not to hurry them
out of a waIk.--PLunte7. and St0ckU103A

The Very Worst of All.

Social crazes are nothing if not silly,
and the latest is certainly one Of the
most foolish in q long list Of follies.
1t is nothing less than the keeping of q

thoughtfully store up locks from the
pates of their gentlemen friends. Each
contribution is tied with a blue ribbon,
nd accompanied by general
description of the appearance of the
individual donors. The girl with any
regard for go d sense and propriety
would never accept a lock OF hair from
any one but her betrothed lover. The
craze referred to is simply an exagger-
:ated manifestation of the leaning to in-
discriminate filtration so observable in
